sustainable living > solar greenhouse design > organic food > clean water

You are welcome to join this opensource collaboration where we are developing and sharing DIY know-how for building transparent solar structures. To enhance our collabortive development of the SolaRoof methods we now are building a knowledge base at www.solaroof.org where everyone can contribute to building the SolaRoofWiKi. SolaRoof structures may include but are not limited to greenhouses, sunspaces, roof gardens, residential spaces... The goal of our discussion is how to use the sun's energy to grow food, cool and heat spaces efficiently, rather than rely on fossil fuels and power grids. Our technology includes the use of bubbles to shade and insulate glazing systems, together with liquid solar collection and thermal mass storage, although any related discussions are welcome!
